In the 1980s, Culture was being shaped by immerging digital video technology. Tony Wannamaker was one of the founders of Much Music “The Nation's Music Station”. The messages playing out in music videos. Being a blue-collar cameraman gave Tony the ability to access and document this cultural revolution through the camera lens while adding to the cultural shift itself through his visual reporting.
As Pat Canavan interviews Tony about his 40-year career, the podcast delves into the Canadian identity in pop culture outside of the US narrative. We get an inside look at Tony's adventures around the world, including encounters with celebrities like Sidney Poitier, musicians David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Lenny Kravitz and more. Then we will dive deep with sharks of unknown names or celebrity status, travel to Africa to shoot the BIG 5 and meet the Masai Prince and even explore a near-death experience.
